How likely is the sense-B-noise to affect patients with subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and can we solve that problem in every case?

The sense-B-noise affected 3% of patients in our cohort, with an incidence of 0.012 per patient-year of follow-up. Most patients potentially vulnerable to sense-B noise could be reprogrammed to the secondary sensing vector, if necessary. Further investigation of the sense-B-noise issue is needed.
